Time Out
"Just across the street from Friedrichstrasse station, this new corner building by the Spree is a huge link in the Spanish Sol Meliá chain." Full review
Star Service
"The Melia Berlin, like the Sofitel, is a refuge for homesick expats—the hotel's tapas bar and nostalgic Madrileno fare in the main dining room lure travelers as well as wayfarers from Barcelona." Full review

Michelin Guide
"Design reigns supreme. The modern, technically well laid out rooms are minimalist with their dark tones. Stylish restaurant with Euro-Asian fare."
Concierge
"At night, the lounge turns into an exclusive, members-only bar, but hotel guests are welcome—provided they like a glam-o-rama scene with a hint of snobbery."
Fodor's
"The Q! is the recipient of several international design awards, and it's easy to see how the gently sloping, sweeping interior of the hotel could charm any judge." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Stylish and discreet, this is a favourite among Hollywood stars. Its rooms are designed as “living landscapes” with furniture integrated into the walls."
Time Out
"This young and friendly hotel is almost worth staying in just for the spa downstairs, complete with Japanese washing room, two saunas, a sand lounge and optional massage." Full review
Rough Guide
"Very swanky, even for über-cool Berlin: all Bauhaus-inspired elegance and quirks."
Travel + Leisure
"Despite being designed to within an inch of its life, the décor of Berlin’s Q! hotel displays a coherence that’s admirable." Full review
BlackBook
"Ultramodern high-end design comes equipped with ingenious upgrades like bathtubs built into bed frames for quick rinses before (or after) dirty play dates."
Oyster

"The edgy Hotel Q! is as much a club as it is a hotel, something its NH Berlin Kurfüerstendamm isn't as swanky, but it has larger rooms and cheaper rates." Full review
Jetsetter
"Cocoon-like rooms, a buzzy bar and a Japanese-style spa make up this hipster hideaway in central Berlin." Full review
